The Government's taking steps towards preventing any more abuse in care going forward.
It's introducing a bill tomorrow prompted by the Abuse in Care inquiry, after the Prime Minister's national apology.
The bill includes a ban on strip-searching children - and stronger regulations on who can work with children.
Minister-in-Charge Erica Stanford says the Government is looking to utilise full-body scanners in the future to prevent young people from being strip-searched.
"Instead, we'd be putting in place individual search plans where young people knew what was going to happen and they had more control over how it happened."
